I alway get the same thing, only on a few leaves, not sure what it is, but I am pretty sure it is fine.

Eric, although yellowing leaves are often a sign of N deficiency it is hard to make a diagnosis without seeing at least a picture. Post a pic in your diary and you may get some more feedback from the helpful BP growers..Also, how often are you feeding and at what dilution? Many factors can cause the plant to have trouble assimilating N i.e..temp, pH, deficiencies ect.. I am by no means a pumpkin expert tho, just a humble gardener growing for fun!Great luck,

Eric, Id like to know myself what causes them yellow specks, I get atleast one leaf on each plant that I grow that does this, its ether early in the season or late in the season, its weird because most of the time its only on one leaf on the entire 500 to 1000 sq ft of plant.

Eric,

Are we talking about the entire leaf being yellow or just small spots on an otherwise normal leaf?
